Astell went back home after visiting the injured maid. As soon as he went back, Reese rushed to him with a face which was stormed with anxiousness. “Dad!” Reese called. She walked towards him with her hands clasped together, as if she’s been praying since last night. “Did you go and visit Marie?” Astell turned his head after a moment. In an instant, their eyes met. “Dad?” A smile formed in Astell’s lips. As he beamed, his cheeks plumped up and his amber eyes were warmly dyed as if soaked in the sun. His fatherly’s smile is so beautiful that Reese stared at him as if she was possessed. When Reese heard that Harriet will visit Marie in the hospital, she went in panic. The way Harriet asked her before if she pushed Marie is like Harriet was so convinced that it is possible, and that it seems Harriet knew the what’s Reese truly is. And so, if Harriet and Astell will meet, she worried that Harriet will tell everything to Astell; if Harriet does remember the past. And so, Reese wanted

Madell also stayed in the mansion for a long time after the humiliating scene that happened few days ago. She was bored to hell and was annoyed that she had nothing to do except waiting until the news subsided. Therefore, when she heard that her cousin came to their house, she felt excited to see Cassius. Madell couldn’t remember how her first meeting with Cassius was. All she knows is that she was captivated by his looks, and that she wanted to be hers, even if that relationship is a taboo, given that they are blood related. Perhaps, she wanted him more after she found out that Cassius is dating the person whom she hates the most. After hearing that Cassius came to the mansion, Madell asked the maids to doll herself very quick. She wore a nice dress and sweet perfume. Then, she hid the wounds and bruises with thick make-up. The make-up did not hide all of her wounds, but her face looks better than before. With an elated heart, Madell went out of her room with a smile on her face.

Cassius went home. As soon as he arrived inside the condo, he hopped down on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in the middle of the dim light. Usually, Cassius would go take a bath right away as he does not want the dirt he got from the outside stick on him any longer, especially when he came home after work. However, the last person whom he had contact with is Harriet, and perhaps that’s the reason why he’s slacking. He brought his hand upward and covered his eyes with his arm. “Now that I said it to her, we cannot act as couple anymore,” he said with bitter taste at the tip of his tongue. As much as possible, Cassius wanted to hide the truth from Harriet, so he can keep her by his side for more time. But his grandfather’s words became a water in the middle of the desert. [ “Loving someone will never be wrong. Being greedy is. Because greed and selfishness killed a lot, physically and emotionally.”] He placed his hand down and opened his eyes again. ‘Grandpa is right,’ he th

Cassius and Harriet went to visit a convenience store near the condominium building. They are sitting on the chairs outside the store, with round table between them and a huge umbrella above. It’s already 9:30 in the evening. During this hour, there are less people in the street. Perhaps because the convenience store isn’t on the main street that’s why it’s quiet there. The two of them cannot go back to the condominium because they are both afraid that Zion might come to visit Cassius. Well, they didn’t tell this to each other but they thought the same. After Harriet confessed her feelings, they felt suddenly awkward to each other. It was hard to think of topic to say. But while sitting and holding their hands, they fell happy and contented. Oh how they wish that time would stop and the night became longer than usual. “Ahmmm,” Cassius murmured. Harriet shyly stared at him. “Hmm?” “Well, ahhh,” he awkwardly uttered. “You said before that you were so hungry. Did you eat a lot i

When Harriet was working as the Chairman’s secretary, she had no time to relax and watch movies. But if she had spare time, she watched movies inside her room. Rather than having a long drive just to visit a movie theatre, Harriet prefers staying in her room and curl into a nice little ball on her bed, then pass out to a good movie.However, tonight will be different.This is her real first date with Cassius, so, a movie date in a theatre isn’t a bad thing. Besides, if the two of them are alone in Cassius’ condo, Harriet feared that something would happen between them and that is very dangerous.She’s not conservative in that area but they are just new couple. True, they dates numerous time. However, those dates aren’t real. She was sincere whenever she’s with him, but as Cassius’ real girlfriend, she wanted their first date to be sweet and innocent.‘How dare I to wish something innocent when we already kiss that deep inside the car?’ Harriet interrogated her conscience.Harriet was
